"In 1896, at the end of a veritable wine tour of France, Marcel Ott, a young Alsatian agricultural engineer, came to a halt in front of lands that finally inspired him. We are in Provence. The Mediterranean lapping just a stone's throw away... Here, the cultivation of vines is a legacy of Antiquity. Alas, shortly before Marcel Ott's discovery, phylloxera had wreaked havoc. As a result, the land was less expensive but the vineyards still had to be replanted. The wine had lost much of its soul in the reconstruction of the vineyard. Marcel Ott acquired several estates and undertook to restore them with the tenacious ambition of creating great Provençal wines from noble grape varieties.
  
Today, 120 years later, Jean-François OTT devotes his life to the love at first sight of his ancestor, Marcel. In 2004, Domaines Ott joined Louis Roederer and his lovely federation of great wine artisans.
  
Château Romassan Les Préludes is a great Bandol wine: tannic, spicy and very well structured.
  
The nose is complex with notes of red fruits, wild strawberries, leather, spices but also freshness with menthol notes.
  
The attack on the palate is fresh and fresh, the tannins are silky and the finish is suave."
